Messiah
Submitted by Anonymous on 2006-09-24 19:43:54 This product has a rating of 3 out of 5 running under Windows 2000 Comments: Windows 2000 sp4 My System: OS Windows 2000 sp4, Mobo Intel P4 Optimized, (Agp 4x) 512 mb Rbdram, Pentium 4 1.8Ghz, Geforce 6200A, (256DDR)Sound Blaster Live and IDE HDD formated NTFS. I first installed the latest Nvidia (91.47) and Direct X 9c. Secondly, my copy of Messiah was version 1.2 out of the box, but if you have an older one, a patch is available. I did the custom install with the high resolution textures checked. The game crashes to the desktop before the menu screen appears, using the Direct 3D executable. Adding switches here did not help. In D3D safe-mode, the menu appears, though after selecting new game and difficulty, it will crash to the desktop. Before running this game under 2000 sp4, I played it on Windows XP home sp1 b.2600 with the '+!' command line switch, and with a resolution of 1024x768 in 32-bit colour mode with full screen anti-aliasing. It ran very nicely, bar a few random crashes to the desktop. In Win 2000 sp4, with the '+!' and '-i) switches in place, my previous saves from running the game under XP worked. No crashes. Though the resolution is fixed at 640x480x16(16-bit colour) with sound and music (I have CD music disabled) The resolution won't change, even if you change it in the video settings, it won't initialize in the chossen resolution. Apart from this, the game seems to run fine. Sorry if this wasn't helpful. |
